00:00 Why is it so important that Orange gets a hydrotherapy pool?
00:04 There's not a lot of options in town for our people that suffer from chronic disease, mental health issues,
00:11 multiple chronic illnesses and obesity issues that cannot afford privately run hydrotherapy services.
00:20 Our model of care here will be able to support people the most vulnerable to access resources that provide them with a quality whole of life.
00:29 Our hydrotherapy pool will not be in competition with Mainstream.
00:33 We'll be ensuring that our people, our current clients, the people that we're hoping to attract,
00:39 are not accessing this type of health care anywhere else.
00:43 Our vision is to have a model of care that is unique to health and wellbeing
00:49 and ultimately we want health outcomes for our people to be able to achieve that.
00:53 We need to do health care differently.
00:55 Hydrotherapy will add to our difference in what we see as comprehensive and integrated primary health care.
